CNN —Donald Trump is stoking political mayhem in Canada by intensifying a crisis that threatens to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a searing resignation letter, Freeland, a longtime Trudeau loyalist, effectively accused him of promoting frivolous policies that would leave Canada badly exposed to Trump. !”With Trump, trade is a win or lose gameThis is vindictive behavior from the leader of a great nation toward its biggest trading partner. Trump also shattered political unity north of the border that has been critical to Canada’s approach to relations with Washington in the past. Trump is likely to try his divide-and-rule strategy among European nations, seeking to mirror his success in creating discord inside Canada.

Trump's plan for a 10% tariff on all imports has been panned by Democrats and Republicans alike. Vice President Kamala Harris has even called it the "Trump Sales Tax." Vice President Kamala Harris has characterized the plan as the "Trump Sales Tax." Despite that, a rebellious House Democrat just introduced a bill that would write those tariffs into law. A self-described "progressive conservative," the Maine Democrat frequently votes for Republican-led resolutions and bills in Congress.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Wab Kinew will soon be the only First Nations premier in Canadian history after voters in Manitoba elected a New Democratic Party government on Tuesday. "This is a great victory for all of us in Manitoba," Kinew told supporters at NDP campaign headquarters Tuesday night. He said becoming the first-ever First Nations premier would show Canada is changing for the better. "It's a very challenging role to be a First Nations premier.

Manitoba had a Metis premier in the late 1800s and the Nunavut territory currently has an Inuk premier. Kinew, 41 and a former television journalist, would be the first Canadian premier who identifies as First Nations. The Conservatives, currently led by Manitoba's first female premier, Heather Stefanson, 53, have ruled the western farming, mining and manufacturing province since 2016. Manitoba's legislature has 57 seats and a party needs to win 29 to win a majority and govern without another party's support.

TORONTO, June 9 (Reuters) - Ruling conservatives in the Canadian province of New Brunswick this week made changes to rules for schools as they sought to "recognize the role of parents" in questions around gender identity, but have faced pushback from within their own party. On Thursday, provincial Education Minister Bill Hogan announced changes to that policy. Another change to the policy removes a reference to students being allowed to participate in activities "consistent with their gender identity". Indiana has enacted a law requiring teachers to tell parents when students ask to be called by a new name or different pronoun.

May 29 (Reuters) - United Conservative Party (UCP) leader Danielle Smith's election victory in Canada's main oil-producing province Alberta on Monday is likely to herald further friction with Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, particularly over climate change. The populist premier's win signals a further rightward shift in the traditionally conservative province, and comes despite a series of controversies and gaffes from Smith, 52, since she first became premier in October. In her victory speech, Smith was quick to take aim at Trudeau and what she described as the federal government's "harmful policies". "As premier I cannot under any circumstances allow these contemplated federal policies to be inflicted upon Albertans. In early 2022 she announced plans to run for leadership of the United Conservative Party, which was born in 2017 from a merger of the Progressives Conservatives and Wildrose Party.
OTTAWA, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Striking education sector workers in Canada's most populous province agreed to return to work after the Ontario government on Monday offered to rescind a controversial law that imposed a contract on the workers and outlawed strikes. The Ontario government's offer to repeal the law was hailed as a victory by workers, which include educational assistants, secretaries and library workers. "I'm glad CUPE has agreed to withdraw its strike action so kids can return to class," Ford said in a tweet. "We'll be back at the table to negotiate a fair deal — for students, parents, workers and taxpayers."
